The term loan is scheduled to mature on June 29, 2036 and bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 2.0%. At December 31, 2021 the effective interest rate was approximately 2.10%. The term loan will be paid in equal monthly installments based upon a 15-year amortization of the original principal amount of the term loan, provided that any remaining principal balance is due and payable in full on the earlier of the date of termination of the commitments on the line of credit and June 29, 2036. Future maturities for the next five years are all equal to approximately $210,000 as the term loan calls for fixed principal payments, with approximately $2.0 million due thereafter. The term loan is collateralized by all real property owned by us. The proceeds of approximately $3.2 million were used to pay off our prior credit facility after the 2021 Acquisitions and to pay transaction related fees and expenses.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Management Recruiters' 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the term loan obtained through the Truist Credit Agreement is structured to be paid off through a combination of regular installments and a final balloon payment. The loan is based upon a 15-year amortization schedule of the original principal amount. This means that Management Recruiters will make consistent, equal monthly payments that cover both the interest and a portion of the principal over the 15-year period.
However, the payment structure includes a condition where any remaining principal balance becomes due earlier than the 15-year mark. Specifically, the remaining balance must be paid in full on the earlier of two dates: the date of termination of the commitments on the Line of Credit, or June 29, 2036. This implies that if the Line of Credit is terminated before June 29, 2036, the outstanding balance of the term loan will immediately become due.
Additionally, Management Recruiters entered into an amortizing term loan related to the Northbound acquisition. This $1.5 million loan from the seller bears interest at 4.0% and is scheduled to mature on March 1, 2025. Payments are structured in 36 monthly installments beginning on April 1, 2022, and continuing until March 1, 2025. Management Recruiters has the option to prepay this loan, either in whole or in part, at any time without incurring penalties or premiums, provided they pay the principal amount to be prepaid along with accrued interest up to the prepayment date.
